Excellent article, Pete. Thanks for more history. Philosopher George Santayana’s quote, “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it,” applies here. Doreen’s groundbreaking approach to work flow, and operations should be commonplace throughout law enforcement.
Any policy maker that promotes “reducing violent crime” but doesn’t see or emphasize the value of local, regional, state, tribal & federal resources that utilize IBIS, NIBIN, & other forensic tools, shot detection technology & the relentless pursuit of trigger pullers & traffickers is just not a serious person. Know the history. Know what works. Apply, adapt, revise the basics to maximize results.
Thanks George! I agree that the how we got here from there is important, in order to understand some of the “whys”. We need to remember all the places around the world that don’t have the benefit of NIBIN’s 26 year march to now!
Thank you for this excellent article and tribute to a true innovator, my friend Doreen Hudson! Reading the article and seeing the photos brought back fond memories of Doreen and the work she pioneered at LAPD in support of our ATF firearms investigations.

Thanks Eric! Much respect for Doreen and her leadership and trailblazing initiatives.
Amen to that Pete! Doreen was the absolute best, a valued partner with ATF.
